low any cares or business to interfere
with this important act. Gentle exer-
else, with agreeable and tranquil oc-
cupation, is more favorable than abso-
lutte rest, while severe mental or physi-
cal exertion, Immediately after the in
PRODUCTION of considerable quantity
of food into the stomach, retards this
process. For the nutrition of the
muscular system repose is as necessary
as proper exercise. but repose of the
muscles relieves the fatigue without
sleep. Indeed, it is n fact familiar to
those who are accustomed to athletic
exercises that after most violent exer-
tions renewal of muscular vigor is
most speedily and thoroughly ac-
ccmplished by rest without sleep.
California is better suited for the
| production of grapes than any other
part OF the United States. 1t is really
by climate, soil aud season the homo of
the grape. Volcanic countries and
soil are best adapted to the production
of this delicious fruit, and in California
and adjoining territories are hundreds
of millions of acres just suited for
| grapes of the best varities, They can
be raised there cheaper than elsewhere,
as they need no stakes or trellis. The
season when they are growing and
ripening has no rains. Suddenly their
production has expanded until Cali
fornia wine has become drug in the
markets, and large vineyards were be-
coming nuisance. The owners were
| digging them mp. But lately it has
been discovered that this soil and eli
mate produce just the grape to make
the choicest OF raisins. and the dry
Summers are just suited for their pre-
paration.
Twenty tons Of grapes to the acre is
said to be an ordinary crop, and 800
per ton, would yield enormous profits.
This would be one cent per pound. AS
it takes about six pounds of grapes to
make one pound of raisins. and as they
are chcaply dried in the sun, it is seen
how cheaply they can be thrown upon
the market But it is said those dried
those dried by artificial heat; hence ex-
tensve preparations are making for
that purpose.
1t is supposed by many that sugar is
used in the preparation. Such is not
the case. The pure, thoroughly ripen-
cd grape is sweet enough. In Cali
fornia it ripens perfectly. Then the
punches are gathered, laid in the sun
upon boards, clay floors or upon paper
laid in the vineyards. There is no rain
to interfere with the drying, and but
little dew to dampen and darken the
color This use of the grape opens 9
new and profitable field for this State
as grapes need no irrigation, and the
rains come just when needed for tins
crop, and it is withheld when it woult
be injurious
"Wine is mocker," and wlne- bib
bling greatly aggravates the evils of in
temperance. And now we are relieved
when it is discovered that the immense
grape crop, for which the pacific coast
is pecul arly adapted, can be turned tc
laudable and profitable purpose
Grapes in the ripe and natural shape
are greatly beneficial to health, and ar,
ever delicious to the taste. As such they
can be largely used at home. and rs
railroad facilities increase, they cal
be shipped and furnished cheaply to al
parts of the United States. They car
be placed on the cars Mt the stations il
California in su table packages, at one
cent per pound. They would reacl
tho most distant parts of the United
States in refrigerator cars for two cent
freight. and reta at four or five cents
At this price, all these volcanic region
, (Which are always best suited TO
grapes) could be proiitably cultivate,
in this excellent fruit. The deman,
for raisins could be greatly stimulate,
and increased by furnishing a goo
, cheap article. But few familie
indulge in raisns that would if the
/ could get them at ten cents per pound
Now that the farmers have made tn,
politicians declare the manufacture @

stopping it. the farmers should manu-
